Hi!
How can glass (beakers, flasks, etc.) be cleansed of acrylic polymers(*) which are insoluble in water without using a lot of organic solvents? I am searching for an environmentally friendly way of cleaning lab equipment.
TIA, Oliver
(*) highly viscous, strongly adherend, glue-type polymer
Vodka!
Pyrolytacl and then mechanical...
heat it ub and then clean the Glass with a brush...
I am not a bug I am a undocumented feature
We use ulta sound to clean ours but i do not know off hand what the liquid is in the tank it could be water.
I would try methanolic KOH. Frank
you may try that fill the flask (or whatever it is) with acetone then dip it in ultrasonic bath
good luck

You are a bit late... ;-)
It is not possible to fill the flask completely with acetone and then you have still spots with some tacky residue (or acetone-spills dry: same problem).
I have tried most of the suggestion and I will stick to the methanol(ispropanol/ethanol)/KOH solution.
